[QUOTE="Enkhidu, post: 3194232, member: 351"] New gamers are a constant source of joy for me. I love seeing people new to gaming have those "aha!" moments, and I think everyone likes to see the look on a person's face the first time they lay some smackdown on a baddie. But what I like most are the completely silly things first time gamers say. Let me give you an example: one person in our gaming group came to gaming via Vampire, MET, and the like. As a result, she got used to the, er, adversarial feel of White Wolf's MET games. So, while teamwork wasn't foreign to her, it wasn't exactly old hat either. Anyway, the first time she gamed she got the traditional "you meet in a tavern" intro. During a lull in the roleplay, well let me quote it for you. DM: "The last thug falls to the ground with a thud. The rest of the crowd is giving the rest of you a wide berth." *Beat* Newbie Player: "So is this the part where we all band together?" *Beat* *Much laughter* Anyway, enough about us - what funny things have you heard come out of n00bs' mouths?
